No. You can't mix and match your platforms. It's either Sky Q or Sky Glass or Stream.

Thanks for the quick reply, I didn't think so but I thought I would ask. Is there a way of watching sky Go on my TV through another device for the spare room or will I need another Sky mini box? Thanks

Another mini - as you already have multiroom then you will only have to pay a one off cost (probably £50).

Check which main Q box you have as some early ones only supported 1 concurrent mini. (Limit is 2 even though you can have 4 minis)

I believe you may be able to do so using the Sky Go app on an Xbox or more awkward a Laptop with an HDMI output

As @PandJ2020 indicates SKY's preferred method is another mini (but see @PandJ2020 's note re limits)

There are a number of ways you can use Sky Go via a TV, using devices connecetd to the TV, like;

Apple TV

Xbox

Playstation
Windows PC, via a hmdi out cable connected to TV.
They may have the Sky Go app or TV from Sky app option.

Sky apps system requirements | Sky Help | Sky.com

They all work well when connected to a TV.

But best option would be to use a Sky Q mini with the TV.
